Fans of the Pitch Perfect franchise have reason to celebrate as Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick spark fresh excitement about a possible fourth installment. The beloved musical comedy series, which wrapped its trilogy in 2017, may soon return — with Wilson dropping hints about the plot and Kendrick expressing wholehearted enthusiasm.
A Beloved Franchise on the Brink of Return
Since the original Pitch Perfect debuted in 2012, the story of the Barden Bellas has captured audiences with catchy a cappella performances, witty banter, and heartfelt friendships. After Pitch Perfect 3 closed out the trilogy, fans have eagerly awaited news of a continuation. Now, it seems those hopes may be realized.
Rebel Wilson’s Inside Scoop
In a June 5, 2025 interview with The Guardian, Wilson, who plays the irrepressible Fat Amy, revealed that Universal Pictures is actively working on scripts for Pitch Perfect 4. She teased a storyline that could explore Fat Amy’s wedding, a milestone fans would surely celebrate. An IMDb news update further confirmed Wilson’s eagerness to see her character’s journey evolve.
Anna Camp (Aubrey Posen) also weighed in during a June 22 interview with CinemaBlend, emphasizing the critical role of a strong script. “If Kay Cannon (writes) up an amazing script, we’d all be there with bells on ready to sing our little hearts out,” she said, signaling the cast’s readiness to reunite under the right creative conditions.
Anna Kendrick’s Enthusiastic Support
Anna Kendrick, who stars as Beca Mitchell, has long voiced her love for the franchise and desire for more. In a November 2024 People interview, she exclaimed, “Oh, my God, I know I would love [a sequel],” underscoring her excitement for returning to the Bella family. While no recent comments directly addressed Wilson’s plot hints, Kendrick’s ongoing support aligns perfectly with the renewed buzz.
Cast Camaraderie and Fun Teasers
Adding to the playful energy around the project, Wilson joked in a June 20, 2025 article by Betches about the characters’ dynamics, quipping, “We’re all gay with each other,” referencing onscreen and offscreen friendships, including those between Kendrick and Brittany Snow. This camaraderie promises a lighthearted tone should the sequel come to life.
Though some historical chatter—like a 2020 Reddit discussion citing Brittany Snow’s Emmy interview—indicates a longstanding interest in continuing the story, the latest developments reflect fresh momentum.
What’s Next for Pitch Perfect 4?
As of June 23, 2025, Pitch Perfect 4 remains in the script development phase, with no official filming date announced. Wilson and Camp both stress the importance of nailing the screenplay before moving forward, suggesting production could begin as soon as next year if the script hits the right notes.
While social media chatter has been surprisingly quiet recently, traditional media outlets have kept fans informed, fueling anticipation for what could be a joyful return to the Barden Bellas’ world.
With Wilson’s wedding tease, Kendrick’s enthusiasm, and the entire cast seemingly ready to reunite, Pitch Perfect 4 could be the musical comedy comeback fans have been waiting for — one that promises new laughs, fresh tunes, and plenty of a cappella spirit.
